And if she was happy in that white gown, then he was happy to stand next to her. If anyone asked, they could say they just got back from holiday in the southern hemisphere, like uh, Australia, where it was summertime.

"Me either, except for that interview," Fletcher replied to Jessa, wearing a bit of a bewildered expression as he looked around this place. He was kind of smiling, but also kind of cringing. Had he ever pictured himself working here? Ever? In all his days?

No, but to become Minister for Magic, one had to start somewhere.

He glanced over at his kid and pulled a hand out of his pocket to ruffle the boy's hair, and then smooth down his own. He needed a haircut before the workweek started. "Come on, Dunk," he chuckled at his kid. "You and I both know you haven't learned how to look with your eyes and not your hands yet." But maybe they could all go look at the 'poor Hogwarts,' auction together? Fletcher moved his hand to the small of Jessa's back and started guiding her that way.

Along the way, Fletcher kept a cool eye out for anyone who looked at least as hot important as him, and took note of an attractive blonde bombshell (Zita), another bombshell in a well-fitting white dress (Megan) and then, finally, Fletcher noticed the Minister. "Look!" he declared, now feeling like Duncan Jr. as he made a beeline for the Minister's general area. "The man of the century!" Heh, geddit?
Might she say, Fletcher looked phenomenal in that suit next to her? She loved it. If their boy wasn't being annoying already, they'd be the perfect family right now. She finally let go of Duncan, who moved to stand by his father as a sign of protest against his mother. She didn't mind as long as he was near them. Jessa walked towards the auction as her boyfriend steered her - meeting a man in a spectacular suit who turned out to be the minister?! "Yeah, it's very funny, honey." She smiled at him, a little too obvious that she actually did not find it funny. "Let's go say hi, I love his suit!" And steering the husband to his boss (?)

He lost track of where they were going, instead he was just looking for someone his own age to go and plot play with. His attention was on the man of the century, as his father called him, but he did not understand what this man did. "WOW, dad, look at what he's wearing!" Duncan mirrored his mother's fascination although with much less grace and delicacy. Also, he had to shout a little because of the music and chatter. WOW, again. This man was the best thing about this party yet! Duncan left his parents and ran towards the minister and bunch of people around them.
